Lyrics from "Pharaoh, Pharaoh"
Pharaoh, Pharaoh Music by Richard Berry, lyrics unknown. Additional lyrics by Mah Tovu (Brodsky/Chasen/Zweiback). CHORUS: Pharaoh, Pharaoh, whoa baby, let my people go! (2x) A burnin' bush told me just the other day That I should go to Egypt and say, "It's time to let my people be free - Listen to God if you won't listen to me!" CHORUS Well me and and my people goin' to the Red Sea, With Pharaoh's best army comin' after me. I took my staff, stuck it in the stand, And all of God's people walked on dry land. Singin... CHORUS Now Pharaoh's army was a-comin' too, So whattaya think that God did do? Had me take my staff and clear my throat, And all of Pharaoh's army did the dead man's float. CHORUS Well that's the story of the stubborn goat. Pharaoh should've know that chariots don't float. The lesson is simple, it's easy to find, When God says, "GO!" you had better mind!

The most explicit statement concerning the Egyptian attitude towards sexual behaviour refers not to the act itself, hut to the circumstances, and is given by Hcrodotus :" "The Egyptians were the first to make it a matter of religious observance not to have intercourse with women in temples nor to enter a temple without washing after being with a woman".
